Turns out that dragons are real and they come from South Africa (Latin name ‘Smaug gigantaeus’)

SMAUG

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? THEY USED SMAUG IN THE SCIENTFIC NAME??!

this is just my hypothesis but the Latin name probably came before lord of the rings

Actually, they named the genus after the Tolkien creature in 2011.  So, the dragon came first.

But the name Smaug was chosen by Tolkien because it was derived from the Germanic verb smeugan meaning “to squeeze through a hole”.

That hand isn’t too bad.

the pinnacle of this generation of cartoons

even with the sound off this is still hysterical

Please be nice to moths 

They spend their whole caterpillar lives thinking theyre going to be beautiful butterflies and then they turn out ugly and everyone hates them.

Please be nice to moths

get out of here, moths are freaking gorgeous have you even seen them

what is there to not love about moths

They are nighttime butterflies!

I DON’T KNOW WHAT I’M DOING OH NO 😨😨😨😨

Yes but have you been in a classroom? Children are savages and give them free reign and it would be a disaster. Someone would wind up with a pigtail in paint. Also they’re unlikely to stay focused on a presented problem without someone on them.

And teenagers! They’re worse. Seeing how they transition to higher education just affirms they don’t want to work for a problem that the answer isn’t readily available. Lord of the Flies doesn’t stop being a possibility after elementary school.

Yes, schools teach compliance, but that just gives the truly brilliant and innovative people a chance to shine. If they can’t retain their creativity after the soul crusher that is grade school, it wasn’t that great to begin with.

I’m going to be broke post-Christmas, but I’ll be giving the best presents.

Does anyone have any good Celtic or acoustic Christmas music recommendations? I’d like to maintain my “making art” playlist’s overall feel but also get festive.
Thanks!
